Bad Country Music Wars

Last week, we had a battle battle for Light Rock supremacy here at Crasstalk. After the dust settled and the weak were vanquished, it was suggested that our next battle involve both kinds of music.

So here you go warriors. Let the battle of the cheesy and terrible begin. Here are a couple to get you started.

Let’s mix in some obligatory patriotism.

This is why I never tell people I grew up in Nebraska.

All right warriors, you know what to do. May God have mercy upon your soul.

Monday Daytime Open Thread

Welcome back Crasstalk. Hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready for an exciting week around here. I am pleased to announce the winners of this weekend’s epic Light Rock Wars. The competition was bloody and hard fought, but two winners emerged.

From the Saturday and Sunday Thread, NurseWretched played this masterful choice:

Excruciating, simply excruciating. However, the winner from the first day and the
overwhelming winner over all goes to bbqcornnuts who made us all suffer through this:

Congrats to both of these ladies, and to all of you who spent the weekend searching
for Michael Bolton clips on You Tube.

Have a great day.

Light Rock Wars: The Battle Continues

Hi gang. So it looks that some of you are still ready to bring on the soft rock pain. However, the other post is so full of videos that it is difficult to load and navigate. To make this easier I am going to open this new thread so people can continue to play. All previous entries and points will be considered in the final judging which will be tomorrow night.

Remember, the rules are simple.

Post the most teeth-grindingly bad light rock videos you can find. Your peers and fellow competitors will vote (by fonzing) for the most awful videos.Bonus points for home-made videos that add an extra layer of fail.

The tool of victory

At the end of the weekend the video with the most fonz points wins all of the internet gold and bad taste bragging rights. Here are a couple stand out videos from yesterday’s round.

Good luck warriors!!
